What could cause sudden drop in saved games?

Hey,

I was wondering what could cause random FPS drop in a saved packaged game?

The game has been shipped, uploaded to steam, and one of the save games are stuck at 5-6 FPS. It wasn’t related to a patch, I believe. And I have optimized the game severely, but the save-file stays the same. Does that mean that it has been corrupt in one way`? How can I debug this?

Other details:

FPS is not limited.

FPS is not set to smooth.

Do you mean, the game runs slowly after the player has saved it?

Yeah, its just stuttering. The other save files are behaving perfectly fine. I’ve seen an increase in 30-40 FPS between the optimization updates on those, but the stuttering one is not affected and stays at 5-6 FPS. All I did was close the game and open it again to play test more the next day.

Edit:

Not right after its saved though. Pressing save didn’t affect the FPS or performance. It was first when I loaded it up the next day that it was changed.

So, hmm… it sounds like the code that moves things from their default state, to the state when the save took place, might need looking at.

( I know that’s not much help, but… )

Yeah you got a point…I tried to replay the game by doing the same things but i havent been able to recreate it
